Skipper Jonas Grumby
The Skipper served in the Navy and fought in WWII in the South Pacific, earning the rank of Captain. He led the navy band for 5 years aboard his ship, and was the best poker player in all of the 7th fleet.

The Skipper met Gilligan in the navy, where Gilligan saved his life by pushing him out of the way of a depth charge that had broken loose and was rolling down the deck of their destroyer.

After retiring, the Skipper used his commission to buy the S.S. Minnow and began offering 3 hour tours from Honolulu harbor. Gilligan was his first mate.
